While most of EA Mythic showed WAR in Germany, a small group made it to Seattle and PAX. There, Carolyn Koh played the game and spoke to the team to find out how things had been coming.

At E3, Warhammer had already shown the Greenskins and the Dwarven races, and according to Content Designer John Cox they were showing off was the development of the UI and the Career Advancement; otherwise known as character development.

Each character will have three areas of skills to build. They are core, specialization and secondary abilities and points are awarded in each category as your character advances. The points distributed will be roughly in a 10:8:6 ratio and you will be able to gain enough points to advance all your core abilities, but must pick and choose the specialization and secondary abilities. Abilities can also be further upgraded through trainers.

Love is where you give,
Happiness is relative.

Actually i saw this game at GenCon and it did have striking resemblence to WoW. I'll be passing on it unless i hear some great things from the players.

Of course it will look like wow...it's based off the look of the tabletop game and blizzard ripped that off in the first place. That doesn't mean it will play like WoW though.

Oh, and the orcs ride boars, not bears.

I liked the preview, gave a better idea how character advancement will work in the game. Also love that Beast of Chaos screenie!

I can't wait for this game.

Put bluntly, you are a punk.

Warhammer came before WoW, get your facts straight you little kid. Blizzard "borrowed" many idaes from the Warhammer universe.. and changed them to their own. Thus, it can not be like WoW because it was FIRST, and so all the material for the game will come from the LORE and Mythic's other game(s).

I believe there is a great Penny-Arcade comic on this subject: http://www.penny-arcade.com/comic/2006/04/10

And a good thread to check out for an in-depth review is: http://www.warhammeralliance.com/forums/showthread.php?t=5417

Every character also has four accessory slots which are items which will show up graphically on the character, like shrunken skulls or heads hanging from belts.
